Answer:

All the offspring of a cross between a tall pea plant and a dwarf pea plant are tall. This means that the allele for tall plants is <u>DOMINANT OVER</u> the allele for dwarf plants.

Explanation:

Mendel's law of dominance state that the heterozygous genotype expresses only one allele of a gene out of the two alleles present together. The allele that is expressed in a heterozygous genotype is said to be the dominant one as it does not allow the expression of another allele of the gene.

The allele of a gene that is not expressed in the presence of its dominant allele is said to be the recessive one. Under such conditions, a heterozygous genotype expresses the dominant phenotype. When a tall and dwarf pea plants are crossed, all the F1 progeny is tall. This means that the allele for the tallness is dominant over the allele for the dwarfism.

Small, reduced leaves with a single vein occurring in the club mosses
swat32

Answer:Club mosses are low evergreen herbs with needlelike or scalelike leaves. Many species have conelike clusters of small leaves (strobili), each with a kidney-shaped spore capsule at its base. The plants are homosporous, meaning they produce just one kind of spore

Explanation:Although they lack true veins, many species of mosses have long narrow cells in their stems, the midribs of their leaves, and their rhizoids (root-like plant tissue) that can be considered evolutionary precursors to true veins. Vascular plants with true veins include the clubmosses, ferns, and flowering plants.

In a diploid individual, one chromosome carries A and B genes, and the homologous chromosome carries different forms (alleles) o
Helen [10]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This involves a dihybrid inheritance I.e. two genes are being passed on. During meiosis, specifically, the Prophase stage, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) line side by side. According to the question, one chromosome contains A and B alleles and its homologue, received by the other parent carries a and b alleles. This means that the diploid individual has a genotype AaBb for that gene.

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles separate independently of one another into gametes. I.e. allele A and a separates into the gametes without affecting alleles B and b of the other gene.

Crossing-over, which is the exchange of chromosomal segment occurs between the two homologues. Hence, the exchange of chromosomal segments containing alleles in the individual will possibly produce four gametes with the genotypes: AB, Ab, aB, ab.

How do giraffes respond to stimuli
Phoenix [80]
Giraffes have a compensatory precision in their movements, so that although it takes longer for them to respond to stimuli, they might do it more accuracy. The move fiber in a given nerve, the more fine-tunes a response to stimuli.

Using the illustration above, why are the chromosomes in two of the sex cells different from the chromosomes in the parent cell?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: A  the chromosomes from another parent cell were introduced

Explanation: A child is created when the male sex cell joins the female cell. If the male and female sex cells had the standard number of chromosomes, as is found in body cells then the zygote (baby) would have double that number of chromosomes. The number of chromosomes would keep doubling every generation. To avoid this doubling the parent's body cells split by miosis which halves the number of chromosomes and so when the sex cells join the total number of chromosomes is the same as that found in the parent's body cells.
